Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood says Hollywood is gripped by a powerful pedophile ring
The Daily Mail ^ | 22 May 2016 | ABE HAWKEN

Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood claims that young actors in Hollywood are being sexually abused by predatory high-powered 'vipers' working in the industry..

The Hobbit actor, 35, told The Sunday Times that the child abuse is 'probably still happening'.

Shocking allegations that top Hollywood figures have been protecting child abusers have circulated widely in recent years.

Several industry figures have been convicted following claims of sex abuse and former child actors - including The Goonies actor Corey Feldman, 44 - claimed he was 'surrounded' by molesters when he was a teenager. Anne Henry, co-founder of Bizparentz - a group to help young actors - said that Tinseltown is currently sheltering around '100 active abusers'.

Wood, who stars in his new film The Trust told The Sunday Times that his mother had protected him from abuse when he first arrived in Hollywood aged eight.

But he said: 'I've been led down dark paths to realise that these things are probably still happening.' The actor, who played Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, believes that other actors remain in danger. He added: 'If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed.

'People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey. What upsets me about these situations is that the victims can't speak as loudly as the people in power.'

That was then and this is now. What is missing here is the fact that these “pedophiles” are really just predatory homos who are interested in male preteens and early teens at the emergence of pubescence. That is what this is really about.

How do you know this? BTW, I loved Shirley Temple movies growing up. My dad used to watch old movies on weekends, and that’s how I got introduced.

Was he a pedophile? I used to undress next to some extraordinary 13 year old girls in my PE locker room. I hated that.

She wrote about it in her autobiography.

I think Patty Duke wrote about her experiences in Hollywood as well. And a lot of the child actors end up with mental illness or abuse drugs or commit suicide because of it.

Wasn’t there a story about a convicted pedophile who said that Jacob Wetterling had been abducted by a high-profile pedophile ring? I’m thinking there were ties to a Hollywood pedophile ring that were mentioned back then.

As an aside, Fellow Freepers, Elijah Wood stars in one of my favorite all-time movies. It is called “Everything is Illuminated”, and it is an excellent movie. It has all the ingredients one desires in movies today. Read the reviews, or, Youtube the trailer.

Nothing new here and probably another year or two it will be another letter added to the freak show LGBT-P and they’ll want their special “rights” as a protected class.

“his mother had protected him from abuse when he first arrived in Hollywood aged eight.”

He was extremely cute in “Witness”. I’ll bet his mother had to protect him 24/7 from the pervs around him.

Just another form of office politics. This just happens to coming from Hollywood, where child actors sometimes grow up to air their grievances.

I read it on the internet so it must be true.

FWIW, the kid who played Samuel in the movie Witness was Lukas Haas, not Elijah Wood.

Whenever you combine vast power with no accountability and forbidden fruit...sh!t happens.

That's the human condition since Adam and Eve.

Only the most Godly can withstand that temptation...and they are the strongest because they have overcome the greatest temptation.

Well said. The media perverts have been playing the long game on this one.

First they normalized homosexuality. Now they’re working on transsexualism, which opens the door to pedophilia, i.e. who are we to say that 7 year-old Johnny shouldn’t start on hormones? Didn’t he pick up that doll that his mother gave him?

Although I think they went a little too far too quickly when mainstream liberal rag Salon published this child-molesters-are-normal-people piece last year:

NAMBLA in Hollywood and now coming to light in D.C. The LGBT movement is just trying to legalize it.

Shirley Temple left Hollywood at the age of ten. Never went back and grew up to be a beautiful woman with a normal mind, later our ambassador to the U.N.

She must have known the score even then.

The book The Godfather showed this side of Hollywood, no wonder it was left out of the movie.
